Just to be clear: it's not for every student (at least not yet!). We are in a research phase sharing it with a limited subset of users. More details about our approach to the responsible development of AI: https://blog.khanacademy.org/aiguidelines/

Mobify - Vancouver, BC
We think that the web should be fast, beautiful and accessible on every screen. Today that means making the web better on desktops, phones and tablets. Tomorrow it will mean Google Glass, smart TVs, and a host of other web-enabled devices.
We have tons of positions open - some of the most pressing are Front-end Engineer/Designer, HR Manager, Talent Acquisition Manager, and Product Manager. Some of the products we work on:
- Performance analysis tools written in Python and Postgresql, collecting data for billions of users and aggregating that data to improve the performance of responsive sites.
- Performance improvement tools, written in JavaScript on the client-side, and powered by many different backend services (image resizing, JS minification, etc) powered by Python and Node.js.
- Cloud based application that allows you to manage your projects and create amazing mobile/tablet experiences, and that provide an entry point into our performance tools. Written in Django and Backbone.
- We do a ton of open source - Mobify.js (http://www.mobify.com/mobifyjs/) and our UI modules (http://mobify.github.io/).
We are one of the fastest growing startups in Canada, doubling in size every year. Check out our jobs page for more info:

The point is, if his goal is to truly make him understand, he can achieve that goal MUCH faster if he doesn't hurt the ego of the person he is having an argument with. When your intelligence is insulted, you will spend a lot more time defending yourself rather then accepting a point.

Completely agreed. When you insult someone personally, they will defend themselves much sooner then they will accept your point. Instead of arguing against his point, he insulted the petition makers intelligence. When trying to make a point to someone, it's always better to do it without hurting their ego. Always.

I wouldn't imagine having two or more images would make much of a difference until you start reaching the max # of TCP connections per host, since these images would download in parallel. Would still be interesting to see results for.
But we aren't planning to allow folks to enroll / allow Khanmigo for folks with children under 13 at this time as part of our research phase.
